More like if it was a choice between two, shitty giant douches and one was painted orange and the other was painted with a rainbow. They’re both the same thing with a different color paint.

Why can’t it be both? The previous administration was malevolently incompetent, as opposed to the current one that is simply incompetent.

Simpler, more flexible data model along with speed / storage efficiency (you’re not updating many indexes so writes are much simpler). Your transaction layer data model should be as flat as possible; enrich with relational data in your

Good for them; Azure Virtual Desktop and Amazon Workspaces are both pretty mature offerings that absolutely blow Citrix out of the water on cost, performance and functionality. It’s one of those rare use cases where autoscaling in the publi

Computers cannot cope with illogical concepts such as race. Race as applied in the US is a thousand contradictions trying to justify the emotions of a minority of the population who needs a visibly identifiable underclass to make themselves

I would submit that humans cannot easily be ranked from “best” to “worst”; and even the most genuine attempts at doing so will only capture it for a moment in time as both the individuals’ skills and the business’ needs are constantly in fl

I do think it’s inherently unfair that high-paying jobs are placed behind arbitrary leetcode gates. Dedicating time because you’re passionate is great, but I’m not here to feed your hobby. My experience is that people who dedicate lots of t

Grain of salt, author is a student (edit: apparently it’s just plagiarized) just learning of these things. OOP is not inherently good or bad, it’s just one tool in a toolbox. Yes, it’s more of a pain in the ass to write, but is much easier

I buy experiences, not things because all the “things” you gather end up weighing you down. Sure, you could sell those things, but that’s work in and of itself. Do I buy things? Sure I do, but most of the things I buy are in service of some

Until we can demonstrate that we have strong enough labor protections that employers don’t prey on these kids (and they absolutely do already because the kids don’t know any better), I’m in favor of banning anyone under 18. Part of it is th

Sure, but teenagers don’t know any better so they get away with it.

Good! High school kids shouldn’t need jobs. Encouraging that just ensures we have a child labor workforce that we can underpay, driving down wages for adults who need that money to survive. Child labor laws are a thing for a reason. If ther

My company (management consulting) has smashed profitability records the last two years. A large part of that was not having office expenses and not doing in-person events. It’s completely apparent that many people used the office as their

Anecdotal, but as a lifelong stoner I would say it takes about a week after sustained heavy use for the cognitive impairment to fully go away. I always quit for a little while when I have something important I need to do in my life.

Sure, but let’s also be realistic that any service large / secure enough to trust your email to will also be large enough to have drawn the attention of entities that can force them to do things against their will.

Email is increasingly difficult to do yourself with the proliferation of anti-spam and anti-malware protection, combined with consolidated usage of SaaS apps for email across the board. Most of the IP address space in AWS and Azure is black

If you’re a big enough landlord you want to have a certain percentage of evictions as a low eviction rate is a signal you should hike rent. When housing supply near jobs is as constrained as it is, evicting people causes more people to cram

Ignoring race doesn’t make it stop being a problem. We tried that from basically the 1980s till the mid-2000s and things really only got worse. Race may have stopped being on the minds of white people, but it is always on the minds of non-w

They blocked Comcast from merging with Time Warner Cable. By “they” I’m referring to AT&T and Verizon (the two biggest telecom providers in the US), who were afraid of a third telecom provider establishing a national footprint and poten

Or maybe the government should keep their grubby mitts off my money until they’re willing to go after the billionaire class. But the IRS only prosecuted about 1500 tax fraud cases last year, so you’re probably not going to jail. Enough stuf

I’ve dated a lot of doctors actually. The only one who made more than me was a plastic surgeon. Even the guy who was a cardiothoracic surgeon was barely matching my middle-management salary. Side note, a lot of doctors in their late 30s are

Most of their IP is dead at this point; Warcraft is a dead horse they’ve been beating for the last decade, StarCraft is effectively abandoned, and Diablo 3 was a blatant cash grab from day 1 with a mediocre game behind it. Hearthstone and O

We only don’t have enough doctors and nurses because many have simply left healthcare entirely due to the low pay, impossible conditions and how the administrative tasks of the hospital were being placed on doctors and nurses in addition to
